Some Saturdays you just need to skip yoga and perfect your oatmeal cookie recipe.

I love practicing yoga. But I also love practicing balance – rather, I’m practicing practicing balance. And while I mulled over going to class this morning…I just felt pulled to other things. A little blog love. Pancakes with my amazing husband.

And cookies.

I’ve been asked to bring a snack to the Earth Hour event we’re attending tonight, and while I thought about snagging some hummus and veggies from Trader Joe’s on the way, oatmeal raisin cookies were whispering to me.

So here they are – vegan, but not gluten-free. Healthy, but still soft and sweet. A cookie with substance and balance. Just how I like em.
